Comment on Article “On Dynamic of Charged Particles in Electric and Magnetic Statics Fields”

Abstract

In this work corrections are performed in some equations from the article “On Dynamic of Charged Particles in Electric and Magnetic Statics Fields”, published on this journal in 2017 [1][1] M.L. Medeiros e L.C. Santos, Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física 39, e1302 (2017).. Our calculations shows that (i) in the particular case 1, the circular trajectory of the charged particle happens in a different quadrant; (ii) in the particular case 2, particle’s trajectory should be displaced to the y negative semi-axis and (iii) in the particular case 3 we shown that there is a necessity to change the axis studied as well as the sign of one of the equations, modifying the trajectory of the charged particle. With these three mentioned corrections, now the equations of the trajectory starts to obey the right-hand rule.
